Fashion posts around these parts are as frequent as rain in the Sahara desert, ok maybe it little over exaggerated on my part but you get my gist. Today I thought I share with you an outfit I wore on Friday for laid back Friday at work, I like to think my dress code is more of laid back on daily basis but Friday’s even more so. I mentioned in my GBU posts that I treated myself to some shopping last week and I picked up this gorgeous skinny high-waisted ripped jeans from New Look, I will be honest this is my first ripped jeans that have bought and I actually like since the rest of the ripped jeans I got after busting them open (weight issues 😁😂) or I outgrew my clothes.
Not everyone likes ripped jeans, I for one am ok with the minimally ripped ones not the over the top that look like you and the neighbour’s dog had another misunderstanding. Don’t get me wrong some people know how to wear them, style them and even look good on them but for some of us my mother would be rushing to the store to get me some clothes because she would think I have finally cracked.
I paired my ripped jeans with yellow cross back top, black leather jacket (was cold), minimal jewellery and black flats with gold band. When I got home and it was warmer but not hot I swapped my leather jacket for lighter cardigan.
How do you dress your ripped jeans? Do you own any ripped jeans?

I love a good pair of high waisted jeans but I dont own a pair of ripped ones! Thats cute and now I am considering getting some for the fall…maybe put some printed tights underneath for an additional flair!
Chantal says
You have great style! I wish I could pull off ripped jeans, I don’t feel comfortable in them but love how they look on others!
Rosey says
My daughter likes the fashion ripped jeans. She has for awhile now. 🙂
Tiffany @ Daily Leisure says
I used to want to wear ripped jeans SO bad, and my parents couldn’t quite grasp the concept of wearing anything that wasn’t ironed and starched, lol!
Apryl says
I love the finished look. You did a great job styling it and the fit of those high waisted jeans are killer!
Jennifer says
I have always loved ripped jeans. I have not had a pair with a high waist yet, but I might have to try a pair and see how I like them
Shandi Dews says
I haven’t worn ripped jeans, since I was in high school, and have never gotten into skinny jeans…however, I think that some people look fabulous in them. Some on the other hand, take the shreds a bit too far!

I have some distressed capri. They are just relaxing and fun. As for jeans, I don’t have any with rips. Michigan winters are cold enough, I don’t need my jeans with air holes LOL! 😉
Ashley says
I don’t know that I own any ripped jeans! I love the accessories that you paired with the outfit – very cute!
rosemary palmer says
I feel I’m a bit old for the ripped look, but still love a great pair of jeans. Dress up or down, just for everyday.
Briton says
I totally agree with you on the ripped jeans trend! I am okay with a clean rip or two near the knee but the slashes all the way up feels trashy to me! I love the outfit you came up with!

That looks good on you.
I don’t remember wearing a ripped jeans, but I just saw a friend in one today.

I have never worn ripped jeans !!! When they started to come out I was in my late 30’s and felt It was not appropriate for me. You look great and have super accessories.
Wendy says
As a plus size woman who’s pushing 50 I don’t do the ripped jeans thing. I have a 15 year old niece who looks great in them.
Jeanine says
I haven’t ever worn ripped jeans in my life. I like the look of them, I’m just not sure I could pull them off. That caridgan however, is beautiful!
Dina says
I used to own ripped jeans. Then I became a mom. LOL MY ripped jeans are long gone now. I miss them.
Heather says
I’m not big on the ripped jeans, I just tend to make the wholes bigger, but I admire anyone that can wear the skinny jean. I just can’t pull it off, I’m too short, so it looks super funky on me. Skinny jeans are meant for tall people, or just taller people than me. 😉
Christi says
Love them! I think ripped jeans are a great casual look and add some edge to an otherwise plain choice for bottoms. It’s a really great look!
Valerie@Occasionally Crafty says
I have several pairs of jeans that the knee just wore out over time and now have “ripped” knees. I tend not to wear them because I think they look sloppy with just the one hole. But maybe I can rethink that….
Carmen Perez (listen2mama) says
I absolutely love those earrings and the lime green top. Everything is styled so cute.
Maureen says
Absolutely fab! Ripped jeans has been my most recent favorite style. That jacket looks so chick too 😀
Lisa says
I don’t own any ripped jeans but I like the look of those. I’m with you, I never understood paying for something that looks like you got into a fight with a paper shredder.
Sophie O'Reilly says
I have lots of different Jeans, don’t think I have ever worn ripped Jeans though, I must give them ago, the leather jacket is cute!
Miranda says
Thanks, I too love the jacket and ripped jeans in moderation have owned a few.
